秀色短视频 President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz issued the following statement today about Ralph Manning, chief physiotherapist for the University's varsity athletics teams, who passed away earlier today in hospital after suffering a heart attack last Thursday:

"Our University has lost a great friend and champion.

Shortly after arriving at 秀色短视频, I had the pleasure of meeting Ralph and over the years enjoyed our conversations. He was a very committed and dedicated individual and put 秀色短视频 and its student-athletes first, offering professional and kind service. Even when he wasn鈥檛 officially 鈥渙n duty鈥�, Ralph was either at the rink, on the pitch, at the field, or at the gym cheering on our Panthers.

On behalf of the entire 秀色短视频 community, I pass on my most sincere sympathies to Ralph鈥檚 wife, Tara, his extended family, friends, and colleagues鈥攁nd to our student-athletes who felt his impact and received his care."

The 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey game scheduled for tonight at MacLauchlan Arena versus UdeM has been cancelled and flags will be lowered to half mast in memory of Manning. 秀色短视频 Student Affairs will be offering walk-in counselling appointments all day Thursday and Friday to support student-athletes who are dealing with this tremendous loss.

The 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey game scheduled for October 21 at MacLauchlan Arena versus Universit茅 de Moncton has been cancelled due to the passing of Ralph Manning earlier today.

Flags on campus will be lowered to half mast in memory of Manning.

Dear Colleagues:

As a follow-up to my September 29^th message, I鈥檇 like to provide an update on 秀色短视频鈥檚 enrolment and course registration for fall 2015. 秀色短视频鈥檚 enrolment results for 2015-16 tell an interesting story. Over the past year, 秀色短视频 succeeded in increasing application numbers and conversion rates, and significantly improved first year retention. 秀色短视频 also achieved growth in international student enrolment by 9%, domestic enrolment (students from outside PEI) by 3%, and graduate student numbers by 15%.  

The Association of Atlantic Universities (AAU) released data today from its 2015-2016 Survey of Enrolments. In relation to the other 15 universities in Atlantic Canada, 秀色短视频 placed sixth in respect to maintaining enrolment, with a 2 percent decline in the overall student body.  This places 秀色短视频 slightly above the Maritime average and just slightly below the Atlantic average for enrolment change as compared to 2014.

Although some levelling-off in student enrolment has been anticipated, shrinking demographics within our Island K-12 schools are a growing cause of concern for 秀色短视频 and our entire province. Between September 2013 and September 2014 alone, the total Grade 12 enrolment within PEI high schools fell by approximately 4%. From a regional perspective it is forecast there will be 34,900 fewer people in the typical university age range (18-24 years) in PEI, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick between 2012 and 2025.  PEI will see a decline of approximately 20% for this age group in the time frame.

While we cannot control the demographics in our region, with the number of high school students on the Island declining, we can control our accessibility to university studies through new academic programming, enhanced scholarships and awards, more support for students as they transition into university life, guaranteed residence accommodation for first year students, and earlier registration options for students. The quality of the student experience at 秀色短视频 is second-to-none and I know that together we continue to strive for excellence.

2015/2016 秀色短视频 enrolment, by the numbers:

Total:                                         4,317 (down 2.0%)
Undergraduate:                         3,869 (down 3.6%)
Graduate:                                  448 (up 15.2%)
International:                             748 (up 9.2%)

A full breakdown of enrolment numbers for universities across the Atlantic Provinces can be found at the .

Thank you

Alaa

秀色短视频 Field Hockey is ready to challenge for the Atlantic University Field Hockey Championship this weekend in Halifax. After finishing regular season tournament play in third, the Panthers look to play their best field hockey of the season at the right time.

Coach Sheila Bell commented, 鈥淎s we enter into our final tournament with high expectations and feeling confident in all areas of the field, we look forward to playing quality competition.  SMU has played us strong all season and we have made adjustments in order to reach our potential offensively.鈥�

She added, 鈥淲e will be counting on our veterans Kathryn Koughan and Sydney Stavert to set the tone and bring a new level of intensity as they have been doing leading up to this weekend. Laura Young has moved from centre back to the wing and has proven she has a natural scoring touch which will compliment Alyssa Ferguson up front.鈥�

In Saturday鈥檚 pool play, 秀色短视频 will play SMU (1st in tier 1) at 1:00 pm and Acadia (3rd in Tier 2) at 3:00 pm.  Both games will be played on Dalhousie鈥檚 turf field. Championship Sunday will be hosted by SMU with Semifinal  #1  (1st Pool A vs 2nd in Pool B ) at 9:00 am  and  Semifinal #2 ( 1st Pool B vs  2nd in Pool A) at 10:15 am.

The AUFH Bronze Medal game is scheduled for 12:30 pm with the Championship at 2:30 pm. The All-Star and Major Awards presentation will follow the Championship game.

League play consisted for two tiers; tier 1 was comprised of 秀色短视频, SMU, and DAL and tier 2 UNB, Acadia, St FX, and Mt A, but both tiers come together as one for the Atlantic Championship.

秀色短视频 have two graduating students in their line up: Emily Ross, defender and fourth-year Nursing student and Katherine Koughan, sweeper and Business student. 

In honour of the late Ralph Manning, the Panthers will wear 鈥淩M鈥� on their uniforms.  During the Field Hockey team鈥檚 recent home tournament at 秀色短视频 which included 16 games and 7 universities, Manning鈥檚 team of physiotherapists and trainers covered the entire tournament.  The team will be playing for Ralph this weekend.

鈥淲e are going into this tournament with heavy hearts,鈥� said Bell. 鈥淎nd we will be remembering Ralph Manning and honouring his dedication and kindness he shared with so many.鈥�
